Cycode SAST supports a wide range of programming languages and SCMs. Language support covers Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Go. SCM support covers GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit. Cycode catches misconfigurations across Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, and CloudFormation. Cycode finds container vulnerabilities and correlates them back to the root cause in code.[5][7]

On the software supply chain side, Cycode says it scans, detects, and blocks secret exposure in code, pipelines, productivity tools, and AI assistants. Cycode says it identifies misconfigured pipelines and prevents supply chain attacks with runtime eBPF monitoring. Cycode says it detects proprietary source code exposed to the public. Cycode can ingest, generate, and manage a software bill of materials. Cycode says it auto-discovers shadow AI, coding assistants, and MCP servers across the development environment. Cycode says it enforces policy-driven control over AI tools with full AIBOM coverage.

Cycode describes the Context Intelligence Graph as a single shared graph that distills noisy alerts into risks that matter. Cycode Maestro orchestrates AI Teammates that assess exposure, analyze exploitability, and generate fixes. Cycode says its specialized agents find and fix exploitable risks 17x faster. Cycode says it combines security understanding with code-to-runtime context to determine what attackers can actually exploit.
